What Matthew Gilbert says: "'Go On' isnt really a cynical comedy or an easy slam on the usefulness of group healing. Its better than that. Ryan is certainly a cynic, using ridicule to tamp down his troubled emotions about the loss of his wife. And there are moments  the group leader telling everyone to hug themselves  when the show does satirize the talking cure. But the writers, including creator Scott Silveri from 'Friends,' clearly honor true grief and depression."
